Can somebody help me out here. I need to place a slideshow identical
to how this one is working here in the upper left corner.

How did the devoloper achieve this?

I selected View| Souce and looked at the code. The particular box (table
cell) uses Flash. This is the code

<td background="imagesX/deckOff.jpg">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
width="275" height="215">
<param name="movie" value="imagesX/movMain.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="imagesX/movMain.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="275"
height="215"></embed></object></td>

So the developer has created a file named "imagesX/movMain.swf" with the
Flash editor and this code plays it back.

I too would love to be able to do something like this, but Flash isn't
cheap. (Although there is an alternative named Swish which costs about
$100.)

Without paying any money, you can set up a slideshow using JS. I have done
it on my website (go to Picture Album), and many contributors to this NG (I
am thinking of ETC in particular) have recommended other ways to do it,
which could be better than mine. (But because mine works I haven't tried
them)
